What usb ethernet adapter is used for mac book pro retina. A backup to my external USB 3.0 hard drive is taking 15 hours in a VirtualBox guest under USB 2.0 compared to 45 minutes for the same amount of data on a true USB 3.0 connection. This is sick. Virtualbox does recognize WICED on the USB, and I have enabled it to pass through. Windows 10 makes a sound that indicates a device was found. USB 1.0 -- I installed Virtualbox Extension Pack and selected USB 3.0.

In order to enable access to these devices you'll need to add your username to the group vboxusers. $ sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers Example $ sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers saml You can confirm the change afterwards: $ groups saml saml: saml wheel vboxusers wireshark After doing the above you'll want to logout and log back in, so that for the newly added group to get picked up by your user account. Then from the VirtualBox GUI you'll be able to right click on the USB icon in the lower right group of icons, and select whatever USB devices you want to give control over to your running guest VM. Detecting USB devices You can use VirtualBox's little known command line tool VBoxManage to list out the USB devices that are accessible. This is a good way to also confirm that the group addition made above to your username are being picked up correctly.

This may be useful sometimes. Though not related directly to the question above, this may be a follow up issue once USB is detected in VirtualBox but not shown in guest os. I followed many blogs to make my USB enabled on Virtual Box (~5.0.28?) on Mac for Windows 7 Pro. Things that I did but USB not detected 1.I did install the same compatible extension pack for USB for virtualbox 2. Enabled USB 3.0 in Virtual Box Manager (Tried 2.0 though I was sure I had 3.0 port/usb) 3. Ejected USB from native OS (Mac OSX) 4. Shortcuts for excel in windows.

Tried with enabling filter from Virtual Box Manager (also tried to manually select the USB from the usb listed at the bottom of virtual box) 5. From Device Manager I tried to detect it but the driver search failed. (Network was working and no firewall) What worked • Downloaded a lot of intel USB 3.0 drivers. Some failed saying system requirement not met. But 1 of the drivers worked. Installed the driver successfully. Now my usb was detected (given you did the first part above as well) NOTE: I also installed VirtualBox Guest Additions for share between mac/windows but don't think its related.

Try this.I'm using Fedora 25 as virtual guest in VirtualBox v 5.1.16. At guest OS terminal. [root@localhost]# dnf install fedora-upgrade [root@localhost]# dnf upgrade [root@localhost]# dnf update kernel* [root@localhost]# dnf install gcc kernel-devel kernel-headers dkms make bzip2 perl [root@localhost]# reboot Then install VirualBox Guest additions, log off and log in back. USB is able to detect for me after executing below command at admin prompt: [root@localhost]# usermod -a -G vboxsf [root@localhost]# dnf clean all Then log off and log in back, And navigate to menu bar Devices -> USB -> add USB by selecting Sometimes a Reboot of guest OS may require.

I bought a Dell XPS15 notebook and I am having problems using USB devices with my VB VMs. My notebook has 3 USB ports and I am trying to connect some microcontroller debug hardware (Microchip's Pickit2, PEmicro USB BDM and others). If I connect these devices to the rear or to the left USB (both USB 3.0) the devices appear on the VM list, but it I try to capture, nothing happens. If I try again I get an error (E_INVALIDARGS) telling me that the device is busy with a previous request. If I connect the devices to the right USB port (the one with eSATA function) then I can capture and use the devices within the VM. I wonder this right USB port is a USB 2.0 one and that is why it is the only port that works.
